Freetown Christiania

Copenhagen, Denmark

Freetown Christiana, is a commune completely independent from the Danish Government. In 1971 a group of hippies took over abandoned military barracks and from there developed their own rules about their society. You can walk around this village for free and see the home made houses, locals going about their day, artwork, organic eateries and nature.
Take a walk down pusher street to really experience this self governing town. See the hash sellers in balaclavas and masks behind their stalls, they are open 24 hours a day and sell 30 different types of hash. It is very important that you DON'T TAKE PHOTOS in this area, Christiania has a list of rules when you enter please follow them, remember you are entering their home!

I'm a 22 year old International tour guide from Derbyshire. I love showing people around Europe but also enjoy seeing as much of the world as I can. These photographs are a sample of the places I have been fortunate enough to see so far. So many more exciting places to visit in the future.
